How to design a TF
(OP)
I am in charge of designing a Trickling Filter for a WWTP and have a number of books but none make sence. It is in a Cold climate and has a 0.24 mgd fdesign flow. The concentration is weak also 37-60 mg/l. Any anformation will be a great help. Thanks

Have you looked into the membrane processes? One of the advantages of the membrane process is the ability to retain the solids.
One of the problems with a conventional wastewater process is that it will be difficult to retain the solids using a clarifer when the system is not operating under optimal operating conditions (such as the cold and low BOD loading).

Temcor dome used w/ infrered heaters in Central IL
Pole barns w/ infrared htrs in Southern IL
Suspect now that other innovative technology w/ smaller footprint is more affordable.

If you still want to use TF's then I would use trough type arms (no super cooling associate with sparge jets),extend the walls 6' aboe the level of the media to lessen wind chill, solid filter walls with vent columns for ventilation instead of semi open sides is good and also avoid using plastic media as it has a low latent heat.
